The Thunder Mountain Line goes all out for the holidays, with festively decorated train cars and Mr. and Mrs. Claus on board. The Santa Express takes families on a half-hour train ride from Horseshoe Bend to Montour--a wildlife sanctuary decorated as a magic Christmas forest.

At Montour, the kids get 30 minutes to explore the forest and Santa's Village, pose for pictures with Santa on his custom-made sleigh, and hang out at the Candy Cane house for free milk and candy canes.

Advanced reservations are recommended, since trips are already selling out
